Fun and accessible Art project for ALL learners! Tried and tested in my junior Immersion classes. -NO PREP!- Perfect for distance and face-to-face learning. Do you have a doodler in your class who would benefit from some recognition of their often under appreciated talent? If so, this is THE ultimate project for them. This Doodling project was very popular and successful with my immersion kids. Best thing: it was accessible to all students in the sense that nobody needed to be enrolled in after-school art lessons or have any particular type of artistic talent to succeed. Doodling is an actual form of art. In fact there are many doodle artists around the world. According to researchers, doodling helps to alleviate stress, increase concentration and memory. It also helps students visualize ideas and live in the moment. Many famous people have been notorious “doodlers”. This fun project is going to hopefully be as much of a hit with your class as it was with my class. Many of my art anxious students became a lot less anxious and more open to art by the time we finished this project and had our in-class Doodle art exhibition. In this package you will find: An introduction about Doodling An opportunity to analyze a work by doodle artists (2 known doodlers, 1 anonymous doodler). Students have the opportunity to search up and analyze a doodle artwork of their choice. There is a table with questions to guide student art analysis. Some reflection questions before students get started on creating their own Doodle art masterpiece + guidelines for their own Doodle art masterpiece. (I do mention to students that although doodling is often unplanned art, this project is an evaluated one, therefore some planning without infringing on creativity is needed for this project). An evaluation rubric. I have only tried this project with my immersion grades 5 and 6 students. If you have a Core class, this project should be able to work- but you may need to explain the French in more detail.

Tried and tested in my grade 6 Middle French Immersion class. This product is a very comprehensive unit, with a Canadian perspective on Asian History Month. It is a wonderful resource for French Immersion, particularly for the junior and intermediate grades. It touches on everything from the first Asians in Canada, the Chinese Head Tax, Japanese Internment Camps, the history of South-Asian immigration to Canada, the Komagata Maru, David Suzuki, and an opportunity to research Adrienne Clarkson. Also included are opportunities to research contributions made by Asian-Canadians, and racisme today in Canada. Included in this unit, is an exit card for students to complete at the end, a graffiti activity at the beginning in order to launch the unit, and lastly, a rubric at the end. This unit is perfect to work on in-class, to send out for homework, for students going on vacation, and for distance learning. I have created this unit with the Ontario Social Studies/History Grades 5, 6 and 7 curriculum in mind as it touches upon several expectations. A wonderful addition to any inclusive and anti-racist program.

Here is an art project that I have done with my junior students. This project was an introduction to my unit on Canadian art. It is meant to familiarize students with the Group of Seven and to explore the style and technique of these artists. This project has three components: a small introduction on the Group of Seven, a research component, a component in which the students are asked to reproduce a piece of art done by one of the members of The Group of Seven and a component in which they are to create their own artwork in the style of one of the members of The Group of Seven. There is an evaluation rubric included in the package. This art project is an integrated project in that it integrates critical thinking, with French writing, and Visual Arts.
